How do you remove the console on a B2410.

I've been having electrical problems. My brand new battery keeps discharging. A technician suggested I remove the console to check for mice. I removed the large screw that holds the console and it moves enough so I can see hay and twigs inside. I can't get the console past the throttle lever and steering wheel. How do you remove these so I can remove the console? I figured it out. Just pry out the top part of the console with the gauges in it. There is a big mouse nest in there. I figure I'll start with a shop vac to clean it out.

Welcome to OTT. Hopefully someone on here will be able to help- it may have to be one of the dealership guys. Can you get it apart enough to get a shopvac nozzle in, and suck the stuff out? I know that you still need to get it apart to fix what's messed up, but seeing better may help.

cleaned it all out with a shop vac. All the wires look intact.

Well, a few sticks and leaves shouldn't discharge the battery. So one of two things have happened; you got a new defective battery, it happens sometimes, or mouse piss have trickled into a connection and corroded it away.
There's a roll-pin in the neck of the throttle, use a pin-punch and carefully drive that out. Put out the center decorative piece of the steering wheel (small pointy screwdriver) and remove that nut with a few drop of penetrating oil the wheel should only be a small bear to get off.
